/cg/ - CHRISTIANITY GENERAL

No.14162196 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
The difference between Christianity and other religions is that it is the only one that's grounded on a well-attested historical event, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is a reason why all the disciples who saw the resurrected Jesus were willing to die or were martyred for their faith. The beginning of the Early Church is psychologically and historically absurd if Jesus didn't raise from the dead.

>And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
1 Corinthians 15:14

There is more written record evidence of Jesus' life and death than for the Egyptian Pharoah Hatshepsut, and yet, we accept that Hatshepsut lived, governed as a king, and died. No scholar or historian denies that Jesus was a man who lived and was executed under Pontius Pilate. The Romans kept records, and all of these records listed below were written within the first 100 years of the crucifixion. The first written records appear only 7 years after the crucifixion under Emperor Tiberius, when followers of Christos began appearing in Rome.

Josephus, (37AD-100AD) Hebrew historian from Judea and Gallileen general in the Jewish-Roman wars, who became a Roman citizen and wrote the records of the Jewish-Roman wars for Rome. Josephus wrote of Christos and Christos' execution by Pontius Pilate in a section known as the 'Testimonium Flavianum'. He also wrote of the apostles by name. His work produced for Rome titled 'Antiquities of the Jews' provides historians with valuable insight to 1st century Judaism and Early Christianity, and are the chief source for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine. He was born 37 years after Christ was born, and thus considered a historical contemporary. His volumes of records were completed in AD93, 60 years after Christos' execution.
